Across nearly all facets of manufacturing—automotive, die/mold, aerospace, aero-engine—automated machining systems are increasingly being utilized by manufacturers looking to gain an edge, boost production capacity, and improve flexibility of the production system.   However, despite...

A V22 high precision vertical machining center was chosen to machine the part from roughing to finishing. The machining process began with top face roughing of the part using a 15-mm Pokholm face mill at 7500RPM. The outside perimeter was then machined with a 1.3-mm ball-nosed endmill running at 30,000RPM....
